Key value factors: Edition order (first Watanabe/Doi printing vs. posthumous reprints) is crucial. Snow scenes, night views, and bijin-ga typically command premiums. Publisher seals and artist signatures authenticate first editions.
A twentieth untitled print by Hirezaki Eiho (1881–1968). The "Untitled (hirezaki-eiho)" designation in this database represents the intersection of two difficulties: the large scale of Eiho's production over a career spanning more than fifty years, and the incomplete state of the archival record for Meiji and Taisho printmaking, which was disrupted by the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, the wartime bombing of Japanese cities, and the postwar economic dislocation that scattered collections and documentation alike. Many of these works await the archival research that would restore their original titles.
